Especially at such a critical moment, she admired her trusting CEO's magnanimity even more.
Her small body contains admirable lofty aspirations.
As they walked out of the venue, they each boarded a carriage for their return journey.
Lily was accompanied by two female guards.
"Thank you all for your hard work today."
Lily smiled at the two bodyguards she was already quite familiar with, while Chloe and Noruwa also looked relaxed.
"So, where are we going next, Mr. President?"
Chloe stretched, feeling a bit tired even though she had only dealt with a bunch of small fry.
"Hmm, these documents need to be processed first. I'd like to go back to the office..."
"Huh? I still have to work?" Noruva groaned. "Hey, even if you're working hard, there's a limit, isn't there?"
"If you keep pushing yourself like this, you'll age very quickly!"
Her meaning was clear: you're no longer an adventurer, and you can't stay young forever.
If I keep working myself to the bone like this, I'll soon look sallow and haggard.
At that time, she won't be able to compete with Eugene among all the beauties around him!
"...It's okay, I'm willing."
Lily lowered her eyes, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Among Eugene's harem, her appearance was not particularly outstanding, and due to the high intensity of her work, her complexion was also inferior.
But Lily didn't care.
She has something she cherishes more than life itself.
As long as he still looks at her with expectant eyes, Lily has endless motivation.
Even if I can't ultimately join hands with him, it would be enough to be his help.
The girl's expression moved the two female bodyguards, who exchanged a secret glance and confirmed their feelings.
Chloe's mind raced.
"Ahem, Lily, have you been hogging the Den Den Mushi for too long lately, meow?"
"Yeah, yeah, the boss clearly told the three of us to use it together! But you're taking advantage of your position as the boss and doing whatever you want, that won't do!"
Upon hearing this, Lily immediately perked up.
Her dignified demeanor vanished instantly, replaced by a puffed-up kitten: "No way! This is Lord Eugene's special care for me alone!"
"Hmph, words are no proof, meow~"
"That's right, this time, it's first come, first served!"
"Aaaaah! I won't give it to you!"
The three of them grew louder and louder, their laughter and playful giggles echoing through the air.
When girls genuinely care for each other, the atmosphere between them will naturally shift towards joy and happiness.
However, what they didn't know was...
Tonight, there is no peace.
A storm has already swept in.
In the otherwise ordinary night, their carriage swayed slightly as it passed the gentle, tranquil lights of the street.
And at the same time.
The top of that tall building where the wind howls fiercely.
A cat-man dressed in light black armor, his silver spear gleaming in the cold light, silently looked down at the city below.
He was none other than Allen, fully armed and ordered to lead the attack.
"Tsk, you guys are making a mountain out of a molehill just for capturing a little human!"
The words of discontent, squeezed out from between his teeth, carried back towards the rear.
"Hmph, orcs' brains are just wasted."
"No command from the goddess shall be disobeyed!"
"go along."
"Agree."
Four identical, metallic-sounding boyish voices rang out simultaneously.
From the darkness behind Allen, four figures covered in heavy armor appeared.
They were short in stature, like four walking iron cans, and wielded enormous weapons such as spears and axes that were disproportionate to their size.
To outsiders, the fierce appearance and physique create a strange contrast.
In Orario, they were a well-known and renowned group—the Legford brothers of the Freya Familia, known as the "Four Flame Warriors"!
Like Finn, they were at the pinnacle of prestige and power among the dwarves.
With all four members possessing peak level 5 strength, coupled with the spiritual connection between the quadruplets, they became one, greatly enhancing their combat power.
Although their individual abilities are far weaker than Allen's, their overall combat strength can still reach the peak of level 6.
Within the clan, he is on par with three level 6 powerhouses: "Goddess's Chariot" Allen, "Black Fairy" Hegny, and "White Fairy" Hedin.
Because of his infatuation with Freya, their relationship was naturally far from harmonious.
For example, nowadays, even for a trivial task, people have to compete with each other.
450 was merely to curry favor with the beloved goddess.
"Tch, I can't be bothered with you guys."
Allen spat and turned towards his target.
"If we're going to compete, then it's first come, first served."
"You bunch of short-legged kids, just keep having fun here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cat-man bent his legs and charged forward.
In Orario, he was known as the fastest adventurer, with a speed that rivaled that of level 7 Otto.
Seeing him take the lead, the four warriors, not wanting to fall behind, grumbled and chased after him. The commotion caused by the high-ranking adventurers moving at full speed created gusts of wind in their wake!
Their common destination, of course, was the headquarters of Eldorado Corporation, where Lily worked.
This trip has nothing to do with personal grudges; it's simply to win the favor of the goddess.
They didn't care who Lily was or what she wanted.
It was as if the purpose of this trip was merely to retrieve a single item.
After all, they were members of the supreme, noble, and glorious Freya Familia.
The will of the goddess is everything.
Even if it means your whole family is killed, you can't refuse in the slightest!
This is neither domineering nor barbaric.
It is love!
A surge of passion welled up within him; he believed himself to be filled with love, but in reality, he was already a heartless puppet.
Purple divine light flashed in the warriors' eyes, and Freya's words and deeds surfaced in their minds, pushing them further into the abyss of madness!
No matter what it is, we will do it for you!
Simply because you are so beautiful!
262 Run, Sister!
The laughing girls on the ground were completely unaware.
From the sky, the frenzied hunters are closing in!
"Tell me the truth! Where did you hide the Den Den Mushi, meow!"
"Don't even try to resist, we're professional bad guys!"
Faced with Chloe and Noru's back-and-forth banter, Lily, having shed her mature facade and revealed her true self, proudly puffed out her little chest: "Lily isn't afraid!"
"After all, he is favored by Lord Eugene, controls mountains of gold and silver, and can be contacted at any time!"
"You wretched little rich girl!" Noruva pretended to be so angry that her nose twisted, and pounced on the high and mighty president, tickling her armpits.
They laughed and joked all the way, their silvery laughter truly refreshing.
In this small space where they steal a moment of leisure amidst their busy schedules, they can finally unload their burdens and become close friends who cherish each other, yet secretly compete for favor and engage in witty battles.
But soon, the atmosphere changed.
As she turned the last street corner, a casual glance from Noruva struck her like a thunderbolt, leaving her frozen in place!
!!!
Beneath the full moon, four heavily armored dwarf warriors stood proudly atop a building in the street.
The enormous weapons they wielded gleamed with a chilling light.
To Noruva, it was so glaring!
why.
Why are the four Flame Warriors of the Freya Familia here?!
When Noruwa first arrived in Orario, she was unexpectedly involved in an assassination attempt.
The target was one of the four warriors.
However, on that occasion, she was utterly defeated, toyed with like a child, and nearly lost her life.
From then on, the four warriors of Freya's Familia became an indelible shadow in Noru's heart.
